This three–level Crew Module (CM) variant will consist of the Observation Port option on both sides of the spacecraft on all three decks (Images 1 and 2). Twenty–six astronauts will live in the CM for eight days. There will be no EVA ports installed on the CM.

Table 1 displays the Dynamic Mass for a CM that will house 26 astronauts with no spacesuits for 8 days.
Total Mass = CM3 Static Mass + CM3_26–00–08 Dynamic Mass
Total Mass = 4,346 kg + 3,421 kg
Total Mass = 7,767 kg
We will now modify the Crew Module designation by adding the mass:
CM3_26–00–08–7767
